Wart removal with liquid nitrogen

Cryodestruction technology or wart removal with liquid nitrogen involves getting rid of warts using low temperatures. The local freezing method causes tissue death.

Warts are removed with nitrogen using a long (up to 30 cm) wooden stick with a cotton swab at the end. The applicator for delivering liquid nitrogen can be in the form of a tube-reservoir with a metal tip of various shapes.

The effect on common warts is from 10 to 30 seconds. The applicator is positioned perpendicularly, can be slightly pressed into the surface of the formation. The action of nitrogen compacts the structure of the wart, makes it pale. After a minute, swelling and redness of the treated area is observed, and after a couple of hours an epidermal blister appears, which decreases in five to seven days. The place of the wart turns into a dense crust, which is completely rejected in ten to fourteen days. Only a pale pink spot reminds of the unpleasant neoplasm.

Removal of warts with liquid nitrogen by the shading method (the applicator is placed parallel to the treatment area, treating it with circular movements) is applicable for juvenile neoplasms. Three to four treatment cycles, each lasting no more than two minutes, achieve a slight blanching of the skin. Wart peeling occurs approximately in a week. The only care for frozen skin is wiping the area with 2% salicylic alcohol.

Cold treatment has a beneficial effect on the process of regulating metabolism in the body, leads to the formation of new necessary hormones, and normalizes the general condition. When using the method, there is no contact with blood, which eliminates secondary tissue infection.

Removing warts with nitrogen has contraindications:

• individual nitrogen intolerance;
• hypertension;
• epileptic conditions;
• angiospasm.

Removal of plantar warts with nitrogen

Plantar warts can cause pain when walking, which is especially common in children, or they may not show up at all. Often, the growths appear on the foot, heel, at the base of the toes, or on the pads.

Removal of plantar warts on the feet with nitrogen is characterized by the most unpleasant sensations, requires special attention and patience from the patient during the remission process. Sometimes the swollen blister does not even allow you to fully stand on your foot.

Removing plantar warts with nitrogen requires a longer exposure to the affected area. Cryodestruction is repeated up to 5 times with a break of three to five days. There are cases of treating warts on the soles lasting up to six months. The specialist must treat the area so that the freezing touches the body of the wart and its leg, and the healthy skin around the formation remains intact. It is important to establish the depth of exposure so that there is no dent left on the skin after cryodestruction.

It should be remembered that plantar warts are a viral disease that can be transmitted through household items. Some growths on the feet can develop into a malignant tumor, so if you find a wart, consult a doctor.

Removing warts with nitrogen is an effective method in the hands of a competent dermatologist; junior medical personnel are not allowed to perform this procedure. The treatment technology is widely used in cosmetic and dermatological institutions, and is simple and accessible.

Removal of warts with liquid nitrogen has become popular among patients due to the comparative painlessness of the method, its high therapeutic effectiveness and the absence of tissue scars.

What are the patient reviews of wart removal?

Reviews of wart removal from patients are mixed. Individual pain in the freezing zone is noted after the procedure for up to two days. According to experts, this is due to the pain threshold of a particular person. Naturally, cryodestruction with tears is tolerated by children. But the effectiveness of the method was appreciated by all those who underwent treatment. In some cases, several cycles of procedures were required to achieve the maximum effect. This applies to warts on the feet, as well as in cases of insufficient impact on individual roots that resume their growth.

Removing warts with nitrogen causes temporary discomfort due to the swollen blister, which should never be punctured and it is generally undesirable to touch it. The good news is that the blister shrinks in two days. Some patients are prescribed immunostimulants and vitamins in parallel with the treatment.

The patients themselves do not recommend resorting to folk remedies in the form of celandine juice, a mixture of flour and vinegar. Such recipes corrode the skin, leaving an unattractive scar on it.
